3 JUL 2024 · This month I’m back with an episode all about sensory-friendly clothing! What is it? Why is it important, and how the heck do you find it? I’ll be answering all of these questions and more in this episode. I talk about my experience thrifting versus traditional stores, my favourite brands for sensory-friendly pieces, and ways I think companies could make their stores more acessible in regards to sensory needs.  P.S. Turns out you can rip your clothes when using a seam ripper to take out tags… may have found this out the hard way, so anyways, be careful and happy altering!

25 MAY 2024 · It’s been a minute! On where I’ve been, life updates, masking/unmasking, and a sentimental reflection on this past Uni year.   Content Warning: Meltdowns (definition, causes, and characteristics) are briefly discussed in this episode between 9:30 and 12:32. Feel free to skip as you see fit if this is a difficult subject for you <3 This episode was honestly a bit scary to post especially when talking openly about meltdowns, something I've never really done before. Meltdowns have often been something I have been made to feel shame for from strangers and peers alike throughout my life. However, I want to remind anyone who experiences meltdowns, including myself, that you are important, you deserve compassion and you are worthy of love, not only for the more accepted aspects of your autistic identity but the more challenging parts too.  Thank you so much for listening, with love - Kylie Grace  Definition and Info Page Mentioned: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour/meltdowns/all-audiences IG: @nothingtypicalpod Email: https://gmail.com Podcast theme music by https://transistor.fm/?via=music.

14 MAR 2024 · As a third-year in University, one of the most common questions I've been asked recently is "Are you excited to graduate next year?" The answer is; I'm not. This is because I'm not graduating next year, and that's okay. In this first episode of Nothing Typical, I discuss my experience navigating accommodations, time management and self-advocacy at University. I discuss the imperfect mindsets around accommodations many Universities adopt, how this can affect our own perspectives, and tips on how to best suit academic experiences to fit your individual needs.  Have any questions or topics you would like me to discuss?
